    Miso Marinated Butterfish
    Christian K.

    The Turtle Club Restaurant delivered a fantastic dinner on Christmas Day. Our party of 7 was very happy with our food, drinks, and service. The butterfish was the best dish on the table. I ordered the triggerfish, which was good and a little different. A couple of us ordered the seafood medley, and while the lobster was overcooked on both plates, they still enjoyed the dish overall. The salads were great, and so was the turtle bread. I wouldn't recommend the calamari -- too much fried breading. The espresso martinis were excellent. Our waitress was attentive and a real sweetheart, helping to create a memorable holiday dinner. Overall, we thought that the Turtle Club Restaurant mostly delivered on the high price tag. It wasn't perfect but the experience was overwhelmingly positive. Give em a try!

    A restaurant like the Turtle Club could sell out every table with the beautiful setting and not even bother with quality service and food. Luckily, they choose to provide not only a spectacular setting for your meal, but Service and food are both top-notch. A big thank you to our server Tanya who helped make our dinner a special evening. In regards to the meals, we started with an excellent ceviche, followed by the trigger fish, butter fish and carb cakes with frites. We had never had trigger fish or butter, fish, and found both delicious. The preparation and side dishes made for an excellent meal. A crabcake was a lighter choice but excellent prepared with crispy french fries, a nice side salad and very well well-made crabcakes. Having traveled to over 40 countries and had the opportunity to eat in many fine restaurants, the turtle club is definitely a stand out for both myself and my wife

    Location, location, location! You can reserve a table inside or outside. We were outside, 5pm (sunset at 5:30) and were having our cocktails and wine while watching the sun set. Lots of choices for fine dining but fine dining on the beach touching the sun set...Just a few choices, really, and Turtle Club is a must experience when in Naples. Since I live here full time, I visit at least once a year but have not been since Hurricane Ian and found the venue, the remodeling, and surroundings perfect. I did not mind walking in sand to the table and was part of the experience of sitting outside. We sat as close to the beach as you could get. It's the ambiance, the service, and the experience that make Turtle Club unique and definitely Naples. Make reservations as far in advance as possible. I hope you enjoy as much as my friends and I did this past November 2025.

    Creamy Lobster Bisque

    Just absolutely fantastic! We came here for date night on Saturday night. We had reservations at 5:45 for outside. They sat us right in the front, the closet table to the water! It was just lovely. Having the sand on your toes while you sit and eat wonderful food! We started off with the fresh oysters. Which were delicious. Then we ordered the wonton tuna tacos since I'm a fan of tuna and they were so crisp & flavorful. So many elements tied in together that just was like a flavor bomb in your mouth. We also got the ceviche which was so fresh and light. Also all out our apps came SO fast legit less than 3 minutes and the first oysters were out! Love that service! For mains I ordered the bisque since I was already quite full from all the apps we ordered! It was everything I wanted. So creamy and delicious. My husband got the triggerfish which we've never heard of but the waitress said it's a mild white local fish so we were intrigued. It's crispy on the outside and was so yummy, stuffed with goodness and the sauce omg was it good! This place is so fun! I'd highly recommend! They also have valet service which is so awesome, makes it super easy to come and dine-in!

    Epic dining experience

    The Turtle Club is iconic! You just need to go! What could be better than eating on the sand and watching the sun go down? This place has been here since I was a little girl. The food is absolutely fabulous. The service is on spot. And the view well, you have to experience it at least once when coming down here. Anything on the menu is delicious... our favorite is the filet with grilled oysters.

    My favorite restaurant in the Naples area. It's BEAUTIFUL. I recommend going for sunset and sitting outside - the view is incredible. The food was very fresh and delicious and the service was top tier. I don't think there was one thing on the menu I wouldn't want to order. Looking forward to my next visit.

    Jumbo Lump Crab Cocktail
    Alyssa M.

    Blown away at how beautiful the ambiance is at The Turtle Club. We had the perfect timed seating for sunset and it was breathtaking. I was able to take my shoes off and have my feet in the sand. Jumbo lump crab cocktail came with a nice mustard sauce and cocktail sauce that complimented it perfectly. My husband and I both got the bistro frites, him with steak, me with lobster. We both thought it was really good and a nice unique dish on the menu. The crispiness/savoriness of the fries and the freshness/citrus of the arugula salad were so complimentary. The dessert was tasty and service was excellent. Staff were friendly and attentive. Bathroom was super clean and nice as well. Will definitely be back next visit

    Looking toward the two story retro resort.

    We drive to Naples twice a year for Dr visits and try to grab a waterfront lunch every time. Yesterday it was the turtle club at the Vanderbilt beach club. So glad we found this Oceanside gem!! Don't let the mid century motel vibe fool you (which we also loved!) this is a must go to! The vibe is casual / most of the outdoor tables are IN the sand but the menu is extensive with a gourmet twist and our food was fabulous! Wait staff also super friendly and kitchen turned our order quickly. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at a casual pace and a beautiful location on gorgeous naple beach. My only caveat is, it's pricey for a lunch stop ($28 for terrain chick salad $33 for shrimp over risotto) but for this location, the small up charge vs other restaurants on the harbor or marina vs gulf is worth every penny! Be prepared for a short wait (25/20 minutes) which tells you how special this place is.

    Such a beautiful and wonderful dinner experience with my fiancé while watching a great sunset at the beach at the Turtle club! Yes, reservations it's a must! We decided to wait until till the snow birds were gone to enjoy this place since we are locals and figured it might be less busy. We decided on making a reservation for outside on a Saturday at 8pm knowing that we wanted to make sure we got the sunset view and we weren't going to be going there during dinner rush hour/ traffic. Regardless this place is always busy. They have a decent amount of tables inside and outside. The parking situation-valet, some in the street but also there's a parking garage which is free if you have a beach pass which is what we did, t's a short walk, less than 5 minutes. We arrived early, knowing we would be willing to wait and walk around the beach however they were able to seat us early. Awesome! Our server Melinda was so friendly, helpful, she was very efficient, we were very impressed with the service she provided. For our drinks we went with the Lychee, Piña Colata martini, and Spicy Pineapple margarita all 3 were very delicious, they did not feel too sweet and had sufficient alcohol to not make you feel like it's a waste, we hate getting watered down drinks that are full of sugar and no alcohol. For our appetizer we decided to share their Turtle bread and Cream Lobster bisque, WOW. We normally don't care for bread but their pretzel bread and butter was unique and delicious. Their bisque was enough for both, very tasty, we would get both again! For my entree I went with the Sea Harvest, I don't even know where to start.. shrimp, mahi mahi was the fish, lobster, scallop with their jasmine rice and oyster turtlefeller and asparagus was to die for.. I couldn't finish it all and took some home for lunch the next day, it still was just as good. I would 100% get this again! My fiancé got the Miso Marinated butterfish and I got to try some, it truly melts in your mouth.. we couldn't have been happier with our choices. This time we decided on no dessert, but will consider it for the future for sure. It's pricey for sure but well worth it, not only do you get delicious food but also a beautiful view of what FL has to offer. We will definitely come back!

    The View from Nowhere The sun sets beautifully here. I'll give them that. That golden moment when the horizon kisses the Gulf, when the sky pulls its curtain of fire and indigo over the sea. It's the kind of view that draws people in, hoping to match the beauty of the outside with something resembling warmth on the inside. But beauty, like hospitality, should go deeper than surface level. From the moment my foot crossed the threshold of the Turtle Club, I felt it. That subtle static in the air. Not just indifference, but something colder. More practiced. The kind of quiet, polite rejection that doesn't need to speak its name because it's been doing the rounds here for years. The hostess, impossibly young, blinked at me like I was a language she hadn't studied. Asked the same question twice, as if I didn't understand her. Or worse, as if she didn't understand me. She sat us near the entrance, just shy of the restroom. The kind of table you give people you're hoping won't stay long. We noticed a window seat open. My companion asked politely if we could move. "It's reserved," she said, with the kind of certainty that doesn't leave room for doubt. But not long after, a different party walked in. Notably different. Not in attitude, but in complexion. And suddenly, that very table became available. It's subtle. That kind of thing. You have to be paying attention. But I always do. The food? Passable. The kind of mid-tier coastal fare dressed up with butter and false promises. There was a butterfish worth a mention. Delicate, well-cooked. But I've never had a dish whose flavor curdled so quickly under the weight of the room around it. We asked, maybe naively, if we could move outside. There were open tables, after all. The manager said he'd check. I didn't believe him. I had already seen him smiling, hand on the shoulder, leaning in close at all the right tables. Tables that didn't look like ours. He never stopped at ours. Never looked in our direction. It wasn't overt. It rarely is. This wasn't burning crosses or slurs. It was something quieter. More insidious. The practiced exclusion of people who don't fit the postcard. Not racism, not exactly. But prejudice? Judgment? The sharp-edged ignorance that cuts in silence? Without a doubt. And that's the thing about restaurants. They aren't just about food. They're about feeling. About being seen, welcomed, included. About being told, without saying it, that you belong here. At Turtle Club, we weren't. And no sunset view can make up for that.

    There is not a bad table in the entire restaurant.

    My wife and I don't usually go out of our way for seafood--but after our evening here, we might be rethinking everything. This restaurant is more than a place to eat; it's a full-on experience. We dined outside and were treated to a truly breathtaking view--perfectly serene and romantic, especially as the sun began to set. The atmosphere alone was worth the visit, but the food? Next-level. I ordered the triggerfish, and I genuinely can't stop thinking about it. It was perfectly cooked, buttery soft, and melted in my mouth like nothing I've ever had before. Every bite was a revelation. We also started with the carpaccio, which was equally stunning--fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. A must-try. Now, my wife isn't a seafood person at all, so she went with the filet mignon, and let me tell you--she didn't need a steak knife. It was so tender you could cut it with a fork, and it was cooked to perfection. She kept saying it might be the best steak she's ever had. Our servers name was Hector, he was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the pacing of the meal gave us time to enjoy the setting and each other. Truly 10 out of 10 experience. If you're skeptical about seafood--or even if you're not--this place might just change your mind. It certainly changed ours. 5 stars. Can't wait to come back.

    We enjoyed a beautiful evening at The Turtle Club. It really doesn't get better than sitting on the sand, watching the sunset on the Gulf of America. Our server was excellent. She was very knowledgable about their menu and was also happy to share some of the history of the restaurant. The food was good and the drinks were delish. Make your reservations WAY in advance, but you can always try a last minute call also.

    Everything was so delicious!!! Waterfront makes this place so perfect. Definetly need a reservation in advance.

    Miami Vice is delicious!

    If you just want to have a relaxing drink at the bar or have a casual dinner with good wines,…read moreRebecca's has wonderful options for you and your friends. For Wine and Food lovers, Rebecca's is a market, neighborhood bar, and a restaurant that offers an enjoyable experience for reasonable prices. We never realized the extent of what Rebecca's had to offer until we joined their wine club. We had always enjoyed 360 market when it was on the riverside, but Rebecca's offer so much more. We have been to a couple of their Experiences where you enjoy a theme wine tasting accompanied by a small food pairing. It was actually after one of the "Experiences" that we decided to join their wine club. Membership is worth the $ with the bimonthly free tastings, as well as any of the 2 per week Experiences you can luckily get into. Downside of membership is space is limited for the Experiences so we have been waitlisted many times. WINEs - Let's face it; you go to Rebecca's because of their nicely curated wines section for $3.60 above wholesale prices. With the wine club, you get to be able to sample many different wines from different countries/regions and varietals you wouldn't have otherwise tried. The pours for the bi-monthly wine tastings are also very generous, so well worth the money. FOOD/RESTAURANT - If not being a wine member, we would not have appreciated how good the food really is. We had occasionally visited Rebecca's for happy hour previously without being members. Since joining, we have tried many of their food items and found them delicious. The pizzas are surprisingly very very good. We love the pepperoni pizza (The Red). The cheese board is varied and you can tailor to your taste. Their happy house special is limited offering of steak and unlimited frites is very tasty. The appetizers are all great. Too many food options to mention them all. Ambiance/Service - the vibe here is comfortable with a hint of upscale elegance, without being haughty. Inside there is the long bar, high top tables, as well as regular tables. Many areas for outdoor seating. The owner can be seen walking around the restaurant saying hello to the customers. The restaurant manager often comes to tables to make sure everything is OK. All the servers have been attentive and know the menu. During season, It can get pretty busy, and parking can get be an issue.

    First off, our server was amazing. Loved her honesty and professional candor. Absolutely zero…read morecomplaints. Ambiance, eh. You either deal with inside noise from non-acoustic walls and ceilings,or, sitting outside along an extremely busy Bayshore Ave. Food...if I wanted food truck meals, I would have gone across the street to Celebration Park. Big fat F. Total bill for 2 with tip, $165.00. Never again.
